Today we had out last assembly of this school term and this year!
We started off by celebrating the 6th and 7th birthdays up until the New Year.
Mrs Leeson then introduced us to the International School Council who showed us the three letters sent to us by our new sponsor students in India. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our friends at St Matthius in Pondicherry.
Then all the teachers told us who had won the Design a Christmas Jumper competition in their class. All of the teachers said how difficult it was to choose just one winner as everyone who entered had done such a fabulous job! Well done to everyone who won.
Next some of the staff had a bit of a surprise as they were asked to go on stage and help with the actions to the Twelve Days of Christmas.
To finish one of the children who had brought in a certificate for a piano recital came and joined Miss Hussey and played a piece from her recital. Well done! Incredible playing!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Today was our 'Whole School Christmas Dinner day'. It was delicious! We all tucked into a traditional roast dinner with all the trimmings!
Thank you to the ladies in the kitchen for all your hard work to make us a fabulous Christmas Dinner
This afternoon, Year 1 had their exciting Christmas party!
After a great game of pass the parcel, the children enjoyed a festive-themed musical statues. With winners declared, the children had the opportunity to share their class dances with the rest of Year 1. These were dances that each class had practised in their PE lessons this term. What fantastic moves!!
Towards the end of our party, there was a faint jingle of bells heard! Who could it be?! That's right, Santa had heard about our amazing singing and could not resist coming along to check it out! After a few Christmas songs, he generously gave each class a present!
We all headed back to the classrooms for a festive feast and to open our class presents.
Can you remember what the important message from Santa was?
He told us to be in bed and asleep at a sensible time on Christmas Eve as he is very busy visiting all the houses around the world!
Well done children for your great behaviour during the afternoon!
Enjoy having a look at the photos below and seeing how much fun we had!
This afternoon, Year 2 had their exciting Christmas party!
We played some party games like pass the parcel, musical statues and some team work games. Afterwards we enjoyed showing each class the Christmas dance we have been learning in PE this half term before having a surprise visit from Santa! He was very jolly and kindly gave out class presents. Santa loved joining in with some festive singing.
After all the excitement of meeting Santa, we went back to our classrooms and enjoyed a tasty treat with all our class friends.
We were very lucky because Santa came to visit us again in our classrooms to give us a very important message.
Can you remember what the important message was?
He told us to be in bed and asleep at a sensible time on Christmas Eve as he is very busy visiting all the houses around the world!
Well done children, great behaviour during the afternoon!

What a wonderful afternoon we’ve have today making lots of different Christmas crafts.
Thank you to all the visitors who helped to make the beautiful decorations.
We hope you all had great time and you are in the Christmas spirit.
Merry Christmas everyone!
This morning the Year 2 children had the exciting opportunity to go on a trip to the Warwick Arts Theatre in Coventry to see a show called 'Father Christmas!'
The children loved seeing Santa get ready to deliver all of the presents on Christmas Eve and joining in with some of the singing.
Well done to all of the Year 2 children for following the Golden Rules and being good ambassadors for Westfield Infant School.
Thank you to all the volunteers who supported the trip. Also a big thank you to WISA for funding the cost of the coaches so we were all able to go.
This morning we were very lucky to have PC Adam, from Hinckley Police Station, come to our Assembly to talk to us about 'Stranger Danger'.
Adam explained to us who strangers were.
Can you remember who a stranger is?
He also spoke to us about safe strangers and safe places.
Can you remember who safe strangers are? Clue: They are usually in uniform.
Adam gave us some important 'Do's and Dont's, including not taking any gifts from strangers or going with a stranger even if they say it is OK.
Can you remember what we should do when we are out playing to keep ourselves safe from strangers?
A big Thank you to Adam for taking time out of his busy day to come and talk to us and well done to all the children for listening so well.
